Nonferrous Forged Packing Accessories & Closures imports of $3.5M in August 2026 ran 22% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.8M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataNonferrous forged closures — typically produced from aluminum, copper, or brass alloys — are valued for their corrosion resistance and lighter weight relative to steel counterparts, making them preferred in beverage, marine, and chemical packaging applications. The forging process imparts grain alignment and mechanical strength that distinguishes these articles from die-cast or extruded nonferrous closures. Section 232 aluminum tariff measures may apply depending on the alloy composition and HTS classification, so importers should conduct a careful classification review before entry.

Forged closures are shaped by compressive force applied to solid metal billets, producing a denser, stronger article with aligned grain structure. Die-cast closures are formed by injecting molten metal into a mold. CBP distinguishes these by manufacturing process, and the distinction affects both NAICS classification and potentially the applicable HTS subheading and duty rate.
Section 232 tariff measures on aluminum articles can extend to forged aluminum closures depending on their specific HTS classification. Importers should verify the applicable tariff line and check for any product-specific exclusions, as Section 232 coverage and exclusion status can change. A licensed customs broker can assist with this determination.
